Only Here For A Little While

Only Here For A Little While - Billy Dean

Gonna hold who needs holding

Mend what needs mending

Walk what needs walking

Though it means an extra mile

Pray what needs prayer

Say what needs saying

Cause we're only here for a little while

Today I stood singing songs and saying amen

Saying goodbye to an old friend who seemed so young

He spent his life working hard to chase a dollar

Putting off until tomorrow the things he should have done

Made me start thinking what's the hurry why the running

I don't like what I'm becoming gonna change my style

Take my time and I take it all for granted

Cause we're only here for a little while

Gonna hold who needs holding

Mend what needs mending

Walk what needs walking

Though it means an extra mile

Pray what needs prayer

Say what needs saying

Cause we're only here for a little while

Let me love like I'll never see tomorrow

Treat each day as though it's borrowed

Like it's precious as a child

Whoa take my hand

Let us reach out to each other

Cause we're only here for a little while

Gonna hold who needs holding

Mend what needs mending

Walk what needs walking

Though it means an extra mile

Pray what needs prayer

Say what needs saying

Cause we're only here for a little while

Gonna hold who needs holding

Mend what needs mending

Walk what needs walking

Though it means an extra mile

Pray what needs prayer

Say what needs saying

Cause we're only here for a little while
